Sign of the Times

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

This is a photo I uploaded that was found in Tempe Marketplace

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

This photo is literally a sign of the times. A graphic like this makes me feel more secure knowing that masks can help prevent spreading the virus. I think it is a perfect reflection of what everyday life is like and will serve as a relic for future generations looking at the archive.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)
